Unfortunately, the one word thread crashed the forum because the system interpreted the rapid fire posts as spam, and the normal security measures it employs to protect the forum failed, corrupting the thread so I had to delete it.  Let's let the natural count of messages rise naturally.  Sorry for having to zap the thread.

Well, Roland, cheaters never prosper.  let this be a lesson to you, young man. :)

Update: I'm sorry if this remark of mine did not come across as the joke it was intended to be.  I also was doing my share of extra posting at the time of the crash, in a group spirit, with some others.  In the chat, I think my joking was clear.  Here, not so much.  Roland, you are a good-willed treasure, and I am sorry if I caused you any distress.  Clarissa

Actually, nobody called me.  The forum e-mailed me an error report and I happened to be sitting here answering e-mail when I saw it.  It's the first time we've had an error like this.  I don't blame anyone for it - it's a software bug.  I know there is a lot of excitement with reaching 100,000 posts - I share it, so I forgive the enthusiasm of those who want to get that count up there.  Unfortunately, the software here seems to know what is best for us I guess.

And the post count dropped because I had to empty out the Recycle Bin to get rid of the corrupted thread.

Oh Rolie, I can't tell if you're jokin' or not.  Do you think the word doesn't fit?  'Sides, didn't you accuse me of inviting people in to chat to slow down postin'?  I didn't (but just 'cause I didn't think of it). :)

I haven't stopped smiling - so no I'm not serious - if I were I'd have PM's you & requested a removal of the name calling thing -

Not to worry - I'm still enjoying this little trip (into crazyness) of mine

well you are so familiar with the territory and inhabitants of course...I would hardly call it a 'trip'....more like 'coming home'...

If nothing else, this little bit of "Rolie" crazyness has achieved one thing -

"Anything Goes" is back to being #4 in number of posts

well at least for the time being (we were 150 posts behind there for a little while)
